SAN DIEGO, Nov. 25.—It is among the possibilities that the franchise ! asked for by the San Diego Union Rail- | way and Steamship Company may not be accepted. The reason for the dec- lination on the part of the petitioners | is found in the fact that the Harbor Commission does not propose to give a wharf franchise for a longer period than the length of time that the present | franchises have to run. The youngest | franchise lasts for five years more and as new applicants come in the fran-| chises are made to expire at the same time. The terminal company proposes | to expend several thousand dollars in the construction of its wharves and its officers say they cannot afford to put in the wharf if assured of its use for only five years. —_—— Consumptive Commits Suicide.

As a careful | investigation showed that the report could not be traced to any responsible source, little heed was paid to it. | The steamship Titian arrived in due course of time off the Irish coast yes- terday. She was reported at the Head of Kinsaie andrgave no signal to in- dicate any important experienge during her voyvage. This morning she arrived in the Morsey and proceeded through the Manch er Canal to Manchester, her destination. Her owners, as well as the White Star steamship officialg, all ridicule the story of the rumored collision. They denounce it as the in- vention of an irresponsible news | agency. | NEW YORK, Nov. — The report | that the Cedric had been lost created the wildest excitement in this city and | hardly had it gone abroad before the White Star officials were besieged by anxious inquirers. There are in all 280 saloon, 160 secc d cabin and 540 steer- age passengers on board the liner, and friends and r ves of these who heard the report that the vessel had | been sunk in midocean by collision with | the Titian dropped everything else to | make agitated inquiries as to the safety | of the ship and her many vovagers. | Manager Lee of the White Star line | did all he could to reassure anxious! callers and pointed out how wéll nigh | impossible it was that there could be | any truth in the report. But it was | not until the cables brought positive | news to the Maritime Exchange that | the Titian had arrived out and that | not only had she not been in collision | with the Cedric, but had not seen her at all, that the tension was relieved. | A glance at the plan of the steam- | ship’s hull, showing the numerous water-tight compartments, is enough to reassure any one, particularly as one | cannot find there any section where an tnjury would not be locally confined. | Under ordinary circumstances the | Cedric should reach port some time to- | morrow, but as the weather has been | stormy the agents will not be concerned if she does not arrive until Friday. | A special dispatch to the Herald from | Siasconset, Mass., says the Nantucket light ship was keeping an ali-night watch for the Cedric, but up to 11 o'clock she had not been sighted. | | | BEING HELD FOR RANSOM Highbinder at Gflroy Promises to Re- turn Her to Salinas Upon Re- ceipt. of $250.

The Vice- | | roy reminded the chiefs of their en- gagements not to enter into agreements | er correspondence with any other power than Great Britain, not to admit agents of any other government and not to { allenate any part of their territory. If | the chiefs adhered to these engage- ments, as they bad done in the past, | no one would be allowed to tamper with their rights and liberties. The Viceroy ! concluded with emphasizing that the| influence of the British Government. | | which' maintained the independence of the chiefs and made the gulf secure to ! the ships of all nations, must remain | supreme. | The speech of the Viceroy to the Brit- | ish Indian traders who have arrived | | here similarly asserteda British ascend- | ency in trade and other interests In the | | Persian Gulf, which had been won in competition with other nations who | held or aspired to hold ports on the | India seas. i Mrs. Clara Foltz, attorney at law, has re- | | moved to the Mills building.

The first speech on the merits of the Cuban bill was made by Carmack (D.) of Tennessee, who opposed the bill and said that nothing less than general would give the relief | tween Hale (R.) of Maine, Teller (D.) | of Colorado and Newlands on the New- | lands resolution, in which Newlands | further outlined his views, and Hale | deprecated all agitation on the subject. Teller declared that Cuba was in no sense a dependency of the United Newlands, in defending his resolu- tion for Cuban statehood, said that Cuba was to be invited to become a | State of the American republic on terms of equality with other States and that the question was to be de- cided by the people of Cuba by popu- | lar vote. He suggested that the ques- tion of statehood, becoming a military dependency or an independent sov- ereign govarnment could be submitted to the people. Concerning the financial arrange- ments for the island which could be made if the island entered the repub- lic as a State, Newlands said that the proposed bond issue of $35,000,000 for the payment of Cuba's army of free- dom should be reduced in interest from 5 to 3 per cent and guaranteed by the United States. This plan would enable the sale of the bonds at par, thus sav- ing the proposed discount of 10 per | cent, aggregating $3,500,000, and a sav- ing in interest of $700,000 annually, amounting in forty years, the life of the bonds, to $28,000,000. Newlands said that union would mean free trade, without the payment of the American duty now paid on Cu- ban sugar, and Cuba would annually receive $35,000,000 more for her sugar than at present. All of . this, he claimed, would mean unexampled pros- perity for Cuba, as well as the unparal- leled dignity and liberty of a State.

Half Million Dollar Aliena- tion Suit to Bs Fought Bitterly. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—That the suit brought against Mrs. Everett Mallory Culver, daughter of Senator Clark of Montana, by Mrs. Solon J. Vlasto, wife of a prominent Greek resident of New York, in which Mrs. Culver is allegéd to have alienated Vlasto's affections and to have damaged Mrs. Viasto to the éxtent of $500,000, will be -foughit bitterly and that Mrs. Culver will do more. than merely take a defensive at- titude was made plain to-day by hér attorney, who represents her in hér action for divorce against Dr. Culvér and has for a long time been Seénat Clark’s counsel in this city. Atwater, attorney for Mrs. Culvér, sald he was not at all interested in the further compiication which was added to-day when Vlasto was servéd with the complaint in an action brought By his wife, who seeks legal séparation from him. She makes various allegd- tions against her husband in afidayits the complaint, but nelther heér attorneys nor her husbadd's coufisel would discuss thém. hey probébly will be made public when argument is made In the spedidl térm of the Supreme Court. Attorney Atwater said to-ddy thAt Viasto was many years older than Mrs. Culver and was a frierid of her entire family. Senator Clark, Mrs. Culver, her brothers and her husband ali call him ‘“Uncle Solon,” “Unele Vlasto,” and he is on terms of friendship and intimacy with a]l of them. There was not the remotest ground for. suspicion,as to the relations be- tween Mrs. Culver and Viasto, sald At- | water. She and other members of her family found Vliasto an agréeable man to have at dinner and Viasto was wiil- ing to accept their hospitality. He is a man who is willing to fetch and carry and make himself generally useful and | agreeable and he heiped Mrs. Culvef to enteftain her friends. He knew he wds Culver’'s home on this account and he doubtless was glad of the oppertunity to meet many agrée- able people there. He was so well known to Senator Clark and so well liked by him that he was a guest of the family or | on their private car on a trip through the Weést. He also was on such infi- mate téerms with the family that whén he was passing through Paris last sum- mer and learned that Mrs. Culver was | these, and he called upon her, and, ad a matteér of course, dined with her. —_———— NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Hartet Hubbard Mayer, the weil-known writer for the Néw York World, dled to-day of pneumonia, after four daye' illness.
